Ukulele making

     I have been working on a Ukulele making. This is a concert size Ukulele using a lattice bracing.
Mahogany top, back, and side. This Ukulele has a high technology balsa lattice bracing with Carbon fiber Epoxy lamination for the top. This technique has been using my classical guitar model with super nice tone. Back also has my signature design using the lattice bracing. So, this Ukulele is my original lattice bracing design. Top has only 1mm thickness to obtain super nice response. To make a strong enough top from only 1mm thickness, I designed an A-frame configuration near the sound hole. You may see the brace looks like the A character. This A-frame configuration enables to distribute the neck tension evenly to the entire top.
     Body construction is already completed. I installed premium quality Hawaiian Koa binding for top and back. I will work the neck making next week.
